Einstein was supportive of the Hebrew University in particular as well as Zionism and education in general, hence the naming of this square in association with several higher education and research-oriented institutions of national importance in Israel to honour Einstein, together with a statue of Einstein in nearby gardens of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Landmarks near by are the Jerusalem Theatre and the official residence of the President of Israel. Further to the southwest is the Museum"

Einstein was offered a position at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey, an affiliation that lasted until his death in 1955. In the summer of 1939, a few months before the beginning of World War II, Einstein was persuaded to write a letter to president Franklin D. Roosevelt and warn him that Nazi Germany might be developing an atomic bomb. Einstein helped strengthen the letter, and he recommended the U.S. begin uranium enrichment and nuclear research.

It advised Roosevelt of the existence of the German nuclear weapon project, warned that it was likely the Germans were working on an atomic bomb using uranium, and urged that the United States secure sources of uranium and conduct research into nuclear weapon technology. At this time the United States was still neutral in the war. This letter was signed by Albert Einstein on August 2, 1939, but its delivery was delayed because of the outbreak of World War II"

Finally, when Einstein wanted to appoint British economist Harold Laski as the university's president, George Alpert wrote that Laski was ""a man utterly alien to American principles of democracy, tarred with the Communist brush."" Einstein withdrew his support and barred the use of his name. The university opened in 1948 as Brandeis University. In 1953, Brandeis offered Einstein an honorary degree, but he declined. Einstein was in favour of socialism and in opposition to capitalism, as illustrated by the following quote:"

While lodging with the family of professor Jost Winteler, he fell in love with Winteler's daughter, Marie. Albert's sister Maja later married Winteler's son Paul.
